To assess the prevalence of illicit drug use among job applicants, a large metropolitan medical center conducted preemployment drug screening of all applicants during January 1988. Urine samples from 172 preinformed applicants were screened using Enzyme Multiplied Immunoassay Technique (Emit d.a.u.) followed by confirmatory gas chromatography/mass spectrophotometry. 4.1% of tests were positive for marijuana and/or cocaine and none was positive for heroin. Positive findings increased with decreasing socioeconomic status. The findings suggest that applicants for jobs in large medical centers in metropolitan areas are no different from those in other sectors of the economy with respect to illicit drug use.
为评估求职者中非法药物使用的流行情况，一家大型都市医疗中心于1988年1月对所有求职者进行了入职前药物筛查。使用酶放大免疫测定技术（Emit d.a.u.）对172名预先被告知的求职者的尿液样本进行筛查，随后进行确证性气相色谱/质谱分析。4.1%的检测结果显示大麻和/或可卡因呈阳性，海洛因检测均为阴性。阳性结果随社会经济地位的降低而增加。研究结果表明，大都市地区大型医疗中心的求职者在非法药物使用方面与经济其他部门的求职者没有差异。
